I've been looking and looking and have yet to find the right sofa.

I come close but either its out of my price range, the manufacturer is not well rated or some other major issue.

PLEASE post with any suggestions. THANKS in advance.

My wish list is:

ÂTight Back

ÂThree Cushion seat

ÂSleeper sofa (doesn't have to be the absolute best sleeper, will get used a few weeks a year for guests)

ÂNO Skirts (any kind of legs are ok - wood preferred)

ÂNeeds to be on the firm side or have an option to upgrade to firm cushions (bad knees and back so firm is easier to get up from)

ÂWould like to stay under $1800 if possible

ÂDurable fabric options (have a dog)

Yes, its a lot but I didn't think it was impossible.

The only thing I have found that came close is the Bassett furniture Custom Classics sleep sofa with the tight back, 3 cushion seat and exposed legs. I was turned off by the crappy fabrics (they looked worn in the showroom and none seemed very sturdy in the sample room) AND the fact that most of my searches have come up with negative reviews of Bassett's upholstered items. Also the prices are up there but I got it down to my price range by getting a quote through NC.
